  <default-description>Having neglected the threat of anti-establishment militias,the U.S. government is in danger of losing control. Middle America has violently risen up, coming to a standstill at Manhattan or, as the world now knows it, the DMZ. Matty Roth, an aspiring photojournalist for The Liberty News, lands a dream gig following a veteran war journalist into the heart of the DMZ. Things soon go terribly wrong and Matty finds himself lost and alone in a world he's only seen on television.

In this volume, Matty severs his ties to The Liberty News and becomes a free agent. He soon finds himself in over his head as he goes undercover and infiltrates a terrorist cell determined to disrupt any and all construction sites trying to rebuild the city.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Easily the weakest of the 3 volumes so far released.  The previous 2 volumes were very good at trying to show what it must be like to live in no-man's land such as present-day Iraq through a gorgeous portrayal of a devastated New York.  But here, the metaphor becomes too shrill.  Don't get me wrong,...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/10455317">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[With this volume in the series, the storyline allowed more background and character development of the protagonist and the other important characters in the story.  As other reviewers have noted, in one sense this series is a love letter to New York City. The authors did their homework on the milita...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48670867">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Picking up the story of embedded journalist Matty Roth in civil war torn NYC, the gritty truth of both sides of the war is exposed as Matty uncovers the story of a corrupt officer and his troops.  <br/>This story line seemed a little forced, and perhaps too open with the obvious jab at the armies a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23202157">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is one of the best things that I have read in a long time. I am reading No Logo at the moment and they seem to be the perfect companion pieces. These politically astute near future fictions energise you and make you feel doubly urgent about the politics of today. I can't recommend this enough -...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23587083">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A little disappointing.  It's good to see Brian Wood is finding his stride with this world he created.  But I found that this story didn't go far enough.  He seems a little afraid to beat up his characters he only wants them to be praised for &quot;doing the right thing&quot; which is not as intrest...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5097048">more...</a>]]></body>
